Cooked Squid Inseminates Woman’s Mouth

Here’s one not for the squeamish, from South Korea: A semi-cooked squid inseminated a woman’s mouth, according to a paper published in the Journal of Parasitology. After experiencing “severe pain in her oral cavity” when she bit into her seafood, the woman spat out her meal, but continued to feel a lingering “pricking” sensation.

Doctors found that the 63-year-old woman had “small, white spindle-shaped bug-like organisms” lodged in the mucous membrane of her tongue, cheek and gums.

Despite having been boiled, the dead squid’s live spermatophores, or sperm sacks, were alive and penetrated the woman’s mouth. The sacks, which contain ejaculatory devices, forcefully release sperm and a “cement” that attaches the sperm to a wall.

"You're going to feel a little prick..." I always hoped that wouldn't be the case.

it's pretty cool that species has a way to ensure its own survival and that it comes at the expense of the species that killed it.

as well. At least the Japanese kill the fish before eating it raw. The Japanese also serve deep fried prawn head with the thorax sprinkled with sea salt. Looks frightening but is actually delicious.
